PROMIS Social Isolation

PROMIS. "Social Isolation" item bank and scoring manual.

Key findings used in wiki

  • PROMIS treats social isolation as a distinct, negatively-worded construct with standardized T-score interpretation.
  • Higher T-scores mean more isolation, not simply lower support.
  • The item bank focuses on perceived detachment, being left out, feeling like a stranger, and feeling avoided or unknown by others.
  • This is useful in the wiki because it shows that social connection can be measured as a specific negative experience rather than collapsed into a generic wellbeing score.
  • In GiveCare's methodology pages, it supports the idea that social strain is a real construct, but still only one part of a broader caregiver picture.
